SCGS Band Forever.

Haha. Sorry for the little heading up there. I know I'm in CJC band now. And I really do love CJ band. But my one and only true, first love (!) is and will always be SC band.

My heart belongs there. They say you'll never forget your first love...

I find it so true.



Just went for the concert last night. Although they didn't really play well (what do you expect from a small, virtually unknown band) but I loved the atmosphere and the feel of being home. The only thing that was missing was singing the school song after the concert. How come the SJI people got to do that.

Heh. Oh wells.
I'm actually a very sentimental person.

Last night was magical!

I went to watch the concert with Jasmine Ngu, my best friend and ex clarinet SL. She's now in SAJC, still playing the clarinet.

Anyway, I walked up to Khoo Auditorium to met up with Jasmine first. She was carrying flowers. And then we saw the usual SC culture.

Girls in heels. Girls in jeans. Girls in short, short denim skirts. Girls screaming in excitement.

And I also saw girls in uniform.

I haven't been to SCGS for such a long time and although I used to love our uniform so much, but now when I look at it (and the new strict rules imposed on it) they suddenly look kinda nerdy. Oh wells.

Haha. Makes me wanna embrace my CJC uniform.

Anyway, outside school, I think most SCGS girls have good dress sense. They want to look good and they know how to look good.

We entered the auditorium in a flurry of excitement. The concert started, and the disco lights turned on. The whole stage was swathed in neon 70's colours. Even the girls were dressed in retro costumes. Then the music played.

When Shrek Dance Party came out, Jasmine and I looked at each other and laughed.

"Shrek again!" she said.
"Yeah, we always play that! Oh man."

I think it's like the 5th time we played it on stage.
Band memories.

I saw Mr Yap, our conductor, doing his usual antics on stage with his enthusiastic spirit.

Overall, the concert was a blast.

It was sort of like an exchange between SMK Sultanah Asmah (top band in Malaysia) and our little band.

SMK practically owned us. But during the concert, my heart was always listening and always with SCGS band.

The highlights of the concert were the songs Shrek Dance Party, Pirates of the Caribbean, My Way and Georgia Medley.

Anyway, at the end of it all, Miss Rosalind Heng our ex principal, went up the stage to give out flowers.


New principal Mrs Low and old principal Miss Heng.

Dear old Miss Heng.
I miss her. In my heart, she'll always be the best principal.

I left the auditorium with a happy heart and feeling light-hearted. Love that feeling.

SCGS looks gorgeous at night. With her lights on, the whole school is bathed in a moment of magic and mysteriousness.


At night.

And when I stepped into the band room, I felt so at home again.



The smell was there, and the warm feeling was there. Even our section shelf was messy again and the scores were thrown all over the place, but this is so significant of SC band.
Sigh. Miss the feeling of looking forward to Friday practices with Mr Yap and our band.
